BOY, that OWS conversation shows what damage drugs can do, huh? And they'll vote...if they can crawl themselves to a precinct.

"they helped settle the recession they inherited"? the Black woman says..? "They're trying to make jobs for people...I don't see that happening.." Ya, he doesn't see it happening but he believes the WORDS, the PROMISES of Obama.ugh.

Ya, getting an ID is a pain in the neck, it must be racist! NOT!As a white kid, I am having issues with an ID... due to family legal issues. Its not that hard though. Just proof of who you are (birth certificate, etc) and proof of residence (mail, receipt...)

And ID is needed near everywhere. Want to use a credit/debit card? ID. Want to fly? ID. Many other things need it as well. It is racist... its common sense.

How is it racist to require an ID before voting but not racist to require an ID to cash a check, board a plane or take out a library book?

Voter ID's are easily obtainable for the VERY FEW people who may not have a valid driver's license or other photo ID. The ONLY reason to oppose these measures is to enable VOTER FRAUD without which many Democrats in close races would most certainly lose.

Get real. Voter ID laws are obviously racist and also intended to target those who would vote﻿ Dem such as the elderly minorities, the poor and students. But furthermore it runs contrary to the Tea Party's constant din of what﻿ 'the founding fathers intended.' Yeah, they may be 'free' but it's extra hassle some can't manage. And you all know this. Even Silverdiddle.

In Ohio, the election boards of Republican-dominated counties had extended their early voting hours in October to evenings and weekends while Democratic counties had had their efforts to extend early voting blocked.

CLEVELAND (Reuters) - Two Democratic officials in Ohio, a key battleground state and huge electoral prize in the November 6 presidential election, were fired for trying to extend early voting to weekends in defiance of a state ban, officials said on Tuesday.

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican, issued a directive earlier this month that the hours for early in-person voting should be consistent throughout the state, where voting rules are a hot-button issue.

Voters will be able to cast absentee ballots from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays for the first three weeks of early voting beginning October 2 and until 7 p.m. on weekdays for the final two weeks before the election.

But two Democrats on the Montgomery County elections board, an area which includes Democratic-leaning Dayton, voted to allow weekend voting after Husted's directive was issued. Their votes were balanced by two Republican board members who opposed the change and the idea did not progress toward implementation.

After reviewing a report from an August 20 hearing on the case, Husted decided to fire the Democrats.

Republicans work so of course we need extended hours and weekedns to vote. Democrats cant get to the polls on weekends away because the buses dont run a full schedule on weekends.

Maybe the producer of this interviewed several and choose the one he wanted (just like NBCMABCNYTMSNBC) but the reality is drug use and criminal behaviour was reported at most if not all the camps so this interview fits in. The movement grinded to a halt as working folks grew weary of the spectacle so it is conceivable members realized they were doing nothing so again the interview matches reality as numbers did in fact drop off. Finally the O team decided this tactic was not working and notified all the cities to shut these down or do you think it was a concidence that nearly of the camps were shut down within 48 hours of eachother. Only a liberal would believe this wasnt part of the O team strategy to cultivate the so called 99%......

Actually these change weaked our democracy as the position of Senators changed from representating a State in opposition to the Federal Government to a position just like a House of Representative.

The Senate was supposed to be different. A place were States had a seat at the table. A place were terms were set at 6 years so there was more stability as foreign policy was supposed to be larger governed by the Senate.

As a resultm the foreign policy of this Nation shifts with each President and sometimes with disastorous results like Obama bowing to Saudi princes. The Senate no longer submits a budget and basically functions like the House.

I would support the repeal of this provision. It is part of the reason we no longer have 3 coequal branches of government
